Chapter 348: The Battle of Naboo (3)

346. The Battle of Naboo (3)

In Rune-Hakor, Newt Gunray and Xiao Guanghua were pulled into their fleet While enjoying the wine of victory on their flagship, the news of the Trade Federation's blockade of the planet Naboo has detonated the entire Coruscant political arena.

Although this is the first time that the democratic spirit of the Republic has been thrown to the ground by armed conflicts, the situation this time when the Trade Federation blocked the planet Naboo was particularly serious.

On the one hand, it is because of the 60 Rookery Hook-class cargo ships dispatched by the Trade Federation. This kind of terrifying large ship with a diameter of more than 3,000 meters, even if it is unarmed, can stuff anything into the huge cargo hold. It can be a huge threat, not to mention that it is not very difficult to install a few turrets on the spacecraft.

But what really turned this conflict into a bomb that detonated the political arena of the Republic was the demands of the Trade Alliance. Although they claimed that one of the reasons was the breach of contract by the planet Naboo, everyone could see that the real reason why they blocked the planet Naboo was because they were protesting against the Galactic Republic's decision to tax the Outer Rim Stars!

And they actually and truly read out this protest in the Parliament of the Republic!

This is an open confrontation with the Galactic Republic!

Because they opposed the Galactic Republic's policy of taxing the outer ring stars, they sent troops to surround and blockade the planet Naboo! This is the real cause and effect of this incident!

Naboo Planet Councilor Sheev Palpatine immediately went to the office of Finis Valorum, Speaker of the Galactic Republic, to discuss the matter with him.

"I'm sorry that this happened, Senator Palpatine. However, I'm afraid this matter must be discussed by the parliament before further decisions can be made." Finis-Valorum shook his head and said.

He was helpless, because after a series of previous events, he had lost the support of the Republic's judicial fleet, and also lost the support of most members of the parliament. At the same time, he also lost his relationship with the Jedi Order. Very stiff.

So at this time, he, the Speaker, has ceased to exist in name only. Since everything has to go through the parliament, and he has no way to influence the resolution of the parliament, then the speaker might as well tie up the dog.

“I also know that this matter is difficult, but please, Mr. Speaker, at least help me contact Lott Dod, the representative of the Trade Federation in the Galactic Parliament. Because I met with him twice before. Rejected." Palpatine said.

Finis Valorum nodded. He connected to Lot Dude's communication. However, before he could speak, the tall Neimoidian in the holographic projection said coldly. He said: "Your Excellency, Speaker, if you have anything to say, please tell me in parliament."

After saying that, he hung up the communication directly.

Finis Valorum looked at Sheev Palpatine, who was bowing his head in silence, sighed, and covered his temples with his hands in exhaustion. He said slowly; "The Trade Federation is here for me, Senator Palpatine. They refuse to tax the Outer Rim Star Region as their independent kingdom. And I know that they are attacking the planet Naboo. I just spotted you - my only friend now... I can only say, I'm sorry..."

He sighed, his fatigue showing.

The corners of Palpatine's mouth curled up slightly, and he said seriously: "Many congressmen have been bribed by the Trade Federation. Now I heard that the Trade Federation, the Interstellar Banking Association, the Enterprise Alliance, and the Fourth The group has formed an alliance, and the business guilds and technology alliances are also flirting with them. Their power is very powerful, but we can't give up! If we give up, where is the hope for the galaxy?"

Finis Valoran raised his head and said: "I can believe you, my friend, I know it. We all hold the highest belief in revitalizing the republic and work hard for it, even if one day I really can't support it. Come on, with you in Parliament, I also believe that the light of hope for the Republic will not be extinguished.”

"This is the wish of all of us." Palpatine lowered his head and said.

Phoenix Valorum summoned the last of his strength and stood up, his voice high and loud, "Let's go, my friend! Get through this difficulty like before!!"
< br>The next day, the Galactic Republic Parliament held an emergency meeting to discuss the Trade Federation's blockade of the planet Naboo.

However, this meeting did not achieve any results. Trade Federation representative Lot-Dude insisted that their blockade of the planet Naboo was a legal act. Because the planet Naboo breached the contract first, and the Republic's resolution to impose taxes in the free trade zone was announced unilaterally and was not formally passed, the Trade Alliance has the right to protest against this.

At the meeting, representatives of major business giants and parliamentarians from various planets argued endlessly, and no conclusion was reached at all.

On the third day, there was a meeting and a quarrel.

On the fourth day, there were meetings and quarrels...

On the fifth day, a fight almost broke out in the parliament. Fang Zar, an angry member of the planet Seri, drove his anti-gravity platform directly into it. Go to Lot-Dude's platform, then jump over to punch him. Before the guard restrained the short, stocky, bearded congressman with a fierce face, there was only 0.1 meters left before his fist could be imprinted on Lot Dude's face.

On the sixth day, Valoran announced a one-day adjournment to let everyone calm down. This is one of the few remaining powers he has as Speaker. ……

At this time, in the outer orbit of the Naboo planet, Rune Harkou poured half a glass of wine for Newt Gunray and Xiao Guanghua, and said: "This is the last bottle of Shula fruit wine, I brought these 15 Bottle.”

Bang! Newt Gunray punched the table and said angrily: "Can't the Queen of Naboo see the situation clearly? She should have surrendered long ago!"

Run Harkou whispered: " Maybe...it's because she's too young and doesn't know what fear is?"

"She doesn't know, doesn't her staff know? It seems that we have to give them some clues! "Newt Gunray roared.

Xiao Guanghua’s eyes lit up and he thought, these two cowards finally got the idea? Are we finally going to start launching mass landings? He drank up the delicious Shula fruit wine in one gulp and looked at Newt Gunray expectantly.

Newt Gunray called another Trade Federation executive and said: "Daultay Dofine, this matter is left to you. Be sure to capture the Queen of Naboo!"
< br>The executive named Daulty Dove was shocked, "Is it...am I going? This...this...what should I do?"

"Send a Yi A robot assault team quietly sneaked into the Naboo Palace and kidnapped the Queen of Naboo!" Newt Gunray waved his hand, "Remember! Go in quietly and don't be discovered!"
< br>Xiao Guanghua's eyes widened and he looked at Newt Gunray in disbelief, who was conducting the command enthusiastically. He suddenly stood up and walked outside, "Is there any more wine? I'm going to drink."

……

That night, an assault team composed of 10 B-2 super battle robots and 50 B-1 battle robots quietly approached the Naboo Palace.

The B-1 commander, whose head was painted yellow, turned back and said: "Attention, from here on, the output of the foot engine is adjusted to 50%, and there should be no loud footsteps. The volume of the sound system is reduced to 10%, can't be found."

"Roger, rage!" the other robots responded.

"Commander, there are two guards in front of us, what should we do?"

"Kill them so that we will not be discovered!"

"Roger, rage!" A B-1 combat robot raised its E-5 blaster rifle and aimed at the two guards in front of it, firing a full shot!

Boohoo! ! A large number of red blaster beams instantly lit up the night!

With a bang, the blaster beam detonated a patrol car next to it, and a violent explosion immediately set off.

One guard was shot dead on the spot, but the other guard was not hit in the fatal part. He covered his injured foot and let out a scream, "Ah! Wow! I'm injured!" ! I’m bleeding all over the floor!”

Woo~~~~~ The shrill alarm sounded throughout the Naboo Palace.
